When someone mentions “Mozambican Getaway” what are the first thoughts that come to mind?

Tropical paradise… white sandy beaches… diving…and fishing! Mozambique has become quite famous for being one of the most extraordinary fishing destinations in Africa, if not the globe!

Being a tropical paradise not too far from South Africa, Mozambique has so much to offer a variety of people, especially the passionate angler. Boasting spectacular catches of Black Marlin, Barracuda, Tuna, Mackerel and Queenfish, it’s no wonder Mozambique, Inhambane in particular, is high up on any fisherman’s destination bucket list.

From Culture to Adventure, Five Reasons Why a Mozambican Holiday is a Must…

Whether you focus on the untouched beauty of Mozambique, the unique landscapes, the rich culture of the country or that it is truly a wonderful place to authentically experience Africa at its finest – a vacation to Mozambique is a must. More than a must… it’s the perfect getaway whether you are flying solo, travelling as a couple or taking a trip with the whole family.

It’s beautiful, it’s unique and it’s a must visit destination!

So you are in search of your next holiday destination? Well, you have arrived at the right place, to choose the right destination.

We think that part of the holiday experience is allowing the holiday to start as soon as you leave the house rather than wait until you are settled at your destination. Many people agree – that’s why so many people love road trips or at least the idea of them! Think delicious padkos (“road trip food”), great tunes, laughs and interesting stops along the way. This is perfection… hitting the road, enjoying the ride and letting the adventure begin as you leave the house. But parents, grandparents or anyone that has attempted to road trip with kids knows that being confined in a car for an “adventure” is not exactly the little “cherubs’ ” cup of tea; even if you are travelling in a 4X4. So, Morrumbene decided we’d give you our tips to entertain (or rather tame) the tots so that your trip consists of only happy moments and memories.(more…)

From Greetings to Local Lingo – A Few Handy Words for Your Mozambican Paradise Escape

Say it again please, or fale mais uma vez, por favour? The Portuguese language, a wonderful language and a handy one if you are heading to Morrumbene Beach Resort. Why? Because Mozambique’s official language is none other than Portuguese. The Morrumbene staff will happily assist you in English so you don’t have to be concerned. But there certainly is something “cool”, “hip” and even satisfying about being able to speak to the local people in their own lingo. So with that said, we have compiled some useful phrases for you to use while exploring the Resort and surrounding areas:

There is nothing like catching your Vitamin Sea with the family. Having the waves lap over your feet as you walk on the beach or being rocked by the waves when you go for a swim. Then of course there is the building of sand castles, picking up shells for a loved one or playing bat and ball to establish who the family champion is. You might remember burying a sibling or watching the kids taking turns to bury each other with just their heads bobbing above the sand. Maybe you even told a relative that their sun cream was “all rubbed in” and laughed as they confidently walked the beaches resembling a ghost. Nothing beats a beach holiday with the family.

But with the good sometimes there are little issues that might crop up… so with that said here are the ultimate beach hacks to make sure that your beach holiday is all sunshine and smooth sailing.
